These cyrfonts are *NOT* in TeX Live at all, neither in upstream nor in Debian TeX Live. It is a separate package in Debian. > I have no way of knowing how widely used the TeX fpl and fnc are, but I > expect they have been used in *some* documents.

I agree that since the other fpl/fnc fonts are in TL since long time, we will not change there names. So we simply leave this bug open, and I will probably add a conflict against scalable-cyrfonts-tex as it breaks behaviour of the tex system.
